@@ -865,67 +845,67 @@ to provide additional information
for a normal timeseries data channel.
Notes for fields:
-1 UWORD: Blockette type [2000]: Opaque Data blockette
-2 UWORD: Byte number of next blockette. (Calculate this as the byte offset
- from the beginning of the logical record including the fixed
- section of the data header; use 0 if no more blockettes will follow.)
-3 UWORD: Blockette length. The total number of bytes in this blockette,
- including the 6 bytes of header. The only restriction is that the
- blockette must fit within a single SEED data record for the channel.
- Otherwise, the blockette must be partitioned into multiple blockettes.
-4 UWORD: Offset to Opaque Data. Byte offset from beginning of blockette to
- Opaque Data.
-5 ULONG: Record Number. The record number may be used for sequence
- identification of stream, record, or file oriented data. If a record
- is partitioned into multiple opaque blockettes, each blockette
- containing a portion of the record should contain the identical record
- number. It is strongly recommended that the record number be used to
- aid in the detection of missing data and in merging data from
- different telemetry streams. Use 0 if data is not record oriented, or
- if record number is not required.
-6 UBYTE: Word order of binary opaque data. See field 4 of blockette 1000, and
- fields 11 and 12 of blockette 50.
- 0 = little endian (VAX or 80x86 byte order).
- 1 = big endian (68000 or SPARC byte order).
-7 UBYTE: Opaque Data flags.
- [bit 0] Opaque blockette orientation.
- 0 = record oriented.
- 1 = stream oriented.
- [bit 1] Packaging bit.
- 0 = Blockette 2000s from multiple SEED data records with
- different timetags may be packaged into a single SEED data
- record. The exact original timetag in each SEED Fixed Data
- Header is not required for each blockette 2000.
- 1 = Blockette 2000s from multiple SEED data records with
- differing timetags may NOT be repackaged into a single SEED
- data record. Set this bit if the timetag in the SEED Fixed
- Data Header is required to properly interpret the opaque
- data.
- [bits 2-3] Opaque blockette fragmentation flags.
- 00 = opaque record identified by record number is completely
- contained in this opaque blockette.
- 01 = first opaque blockette for record spanning multiple
- blockettes.
- 11 = continuation blockette 2...N-1 of record spanning N
- blockettes.
- 10 = final blockette for record spanning N blockettes.
- [bits 4-5] File blockette information.
- 00 = not file oriented.
- 01 = first blockette of file.
- 10 = continuation of file.
- 11 = last blockette of file.
-8 UBYTE: Number of Opaque Header fields. Each opaque header field is a variable
- length ascii string, terminated by the character ~.
-9 VAR: Opaque Data Header string, which contains the ascii variable length
- fields. Each field is terminated by a "~". The definition of the fields
- may be defined by the originator and receiver, but the following are
- recommended.
- Any of the fields may be empty.
- a Record Type - name of the type of record (eg "GPS", "GPS MBEN").
- b Vendor Type - name of equipment vendor (eg "ASHTECH").
- c Model type - model type of equipment (eg "Z12").
- d Software Version - software version number (eg "").
- e Firmware Version - firmware version number (eg "1G0C").
